Title: [Bronchoalveolar lavage. The humoral parameter spectrum in bronchial carcinoma and chronic bronchitis]. Author: Schultek T, Braun J, Wiessmann KJ, Wood WG. Journal: Dtsch Med Wochenschr; 1986 Feb 28; 111(9):333-7. PubMed ID: 3004882. Abstract: The concentrations of tissue-polypeptide antigen (TPA), ferritin, alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (alpha 1-aGP), transthyretin (TBPA), alpha 1-antitrypsin (alpha 1-Pi), alpha 2-macroglobulin (alpha 2-MG), C-reactive protein and IgA were determined in broncho-alveolar lavage fluid of 13 patients with chronic bronchitis and 11 with bronchial carcinoma and accompanying bronchitis. Measurement of TPA, alpha 1-Pi, ferritin and transthyretin provides useful additional information in the diagnosis of bronchial carcinoma. The ratios of TPA/TBPA, alpha 1-Pi/TBPA and alpha 1-aGP/TBPA differentiate highly sensitively between bronchial carcinoma and chronic bronchitis.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
